What if I find a bed bug on a student?
If a bed bug is found on a student, it may indicate that the student has
bed bugs at home.
However, bed bugs can crawl onto or off of a person (or their belongings)
at any time, so it
is also possible that the bed bug was brought to school by someone else. If
a suspected
bed bug is found on a student or a student’s belongings, the following

What Schools Need to Know
What if I find a bed bug on a student?
If a bed bug is found on a student, it may indicate that the student has
bed bugs at home.
However, bed bugs can crawl onto or off of a person (or their belongings)
at any time, so it
is also possible that the bed bug was brought to school by someone else. If
a suspected
bed bug is found on a student or a student’s belongings, the following
procedures should
be followed:
• The student should be discreetly removed from the classroom so that the
school nurse or a
qualified individual can examine the student’s clothing and other
belongings. Any bugs found
should be removed and collected for identification. Try to keep the
specimens as intact as
possible.
• If a confirmed bed bug was found on a student, then the school principal
or nurse should contact
the student’s parents or guardian to inform them of the bed bug presence on
their child. Consider
sending a bed bug inspection form home, a sample is provided at the end of
this document..
• The school principal or nurse or center program director should consider
notifying the affected
class or classes. A sample notification letter is provided at the end of
this document.
• Students should not be excluded from school due to bed bugs unless
repeated efforts have been
made to remedy an infestation. Schools should not be closed due to bed bug
presence, if pest
management is necessary it will normally be targeted to certain areas of
the school.
• Ongoing pest management that includes the use of pesticides indoors
should be overseen by the
school principal or designee and must conform to the school’s integrated
pest management plan,
as required by Kenyan law .﻿
